The one that be handling they business, be sharper than a thumb tack
The one that be dropping these albums, showing 'em how to come back
And you gon' respect me and appreciate where I run at
You ain't gone piss me off 'cause you sorry that you done that

I gets meaner, badder, stronger and ferocious
You don't even much wanna see the rest
I'm coming back mo' fearless, mo' determined to fold the set
I ain't even started yet

So if you ain't ready you better get ready
I know, I do it better when I'm being opposed
Ah, stick ya chest out, keep your chin up
'Cause sometimes you gotta get knocked down to get up

You keep bumping me against the wall
Yeah, I know I let you slide before
But until you seen me, trust me

You ain't seen bouncin' back
You ain't seen bouncin' back

No matter what happened that's only once, it's shame on you
You come up and here and do it again then it's shame on me
Sometimes we be getting in trouble, we didn't want learn or
Sometimes we be getting in trouble, we ain't gon' see

I accept my wages like the way that I fail
I grow, I take 'em in stride and but 'em under my belt
I learned from you just like you learned from me
I plead, I pray for peace and perfect harmony

Somebody said, fool you better keep on rapping
Stop that trippin' causin' it ain't gone happin'
I told them look you better mind yo business
Change yo' way of thinking and keep on living

Done started some trouble and you ain't been out since
'Cause you stuck inside scared watching CNN
Just take the precaution, so yo life will be better
Tell my friends to call me, I ain't accepting no letters

You keep bumping me against the wall
Yeah I know, I let you slide before
But until you seen me, trust me

You ain't seen bouncin' back
You ain't seen bouncin' back

You heard about me, yeah, you had to
Hmm-huh, I know you changed ya mind
You ain't the only one with bad news

I know that they made you feel strange, huh
You was right in the middle complainin'
And forgot what you was cryin' 'bout

It could be you time and it might be
You can't do nothing about it, it's God
Will that's just how life be?

One day it hit 'cha then it's gone
And I'm serious and you ain't never even gone feel it
Until it hit home

That's when the pain run sharper and deeper
You ain't eat that's when the days feel slow and long
I know you miss 'em so it's time to uplift 'em
Try to pick the pieces up and find a way to drive on

I tell you the truth so don't lie to me
Get back Satan don't bother me
And that's the way it's gotta be
And real as ever so I hope you proud of me

You keep bumping me against the wall
Yeah I know, I let you slide before
But until you seen me, trust me

You ain't seen bouncin' back
You ain't seen bouncin' back

You keep bumping me against the wall
You keep bumping me against the wall
You keep bumping me against the wall

You ain't seen bouncin' back
You ain't seen bouncin' back
You ain't seen bouncin' back
